Chapter 295 Rubber Trade
Now the response speed of the decree of the Ming Dynasty is extremely fast, and the news of the establishment of the Daming Liaodong Agricultural Reclamation Group was quickly spread, but unlike the beginning of the discussion, in the end, the Daming Liaodong Agricultural Reclamation Group was temporarily assigned to Xu Guangqi's Ministry of Agriculture by Zhu Youzhen.
At the same time, Daming has also begun to step up the research and development of various types of agricultural machinery required by the Agricultural Reclamation Group.
But due to the rubber problem, Zhu Youzhen could only try his best to start his own performance.
The streets of Jingshi, in the noisy and bustling city.
"Nickname Outside! The emperor has decreed that from now on, Daming will import rubber from overseas, and Daming will replace all white marble floor tiles in the palace with rubber floor tiles within one year! ”
"Kyoshi Daily! From now on, Daming imported rubber is exempt from taxes, and from now on, people can freely hoard, buy and sell, and import overseas rubber! ”
"Raw rubber is duty-free! Cooked gum halved! The Daming Royal Supply and Marketing Bureau and the Commerce Bureau jointly began to purchase, and the emperor ordered the Daming Tonghai merchants to purchase a certain amount of rubber on their return trip! ”
The news was like being plugged in with wings, and the news was received in a very short period of time from the Daming Jingshi to Tianjin Wei, and even to the city of Guangzhou.
For a time, the eyes of almost all the merchants of the Ming Dynasty were like a fine light, and since ancient times, it has been the best way to trade.
And for the Ming Dynasty, as long as the things you sell can be favored by the emperor, then glory and wealth beckoning in front of you.
As for why Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor this time, announced with such fanfare that he would use rubber to decorate the palace and use rubber to lay floor tiles.
In this regard, Zhu Youzhen could only say one sentence: "Rubber bricks... Isn't that what rubber looks like when it's hoarded in a warehouse? I just changed places for him. ”
The rising rubber boom.
Just under Zhu Youzhen's deliberate push this time, he continued to go higher, and was constantly added firewood, which intensified!
"Did you hear that? Those red-haired men have already fought at sea for rubber, and the Dutch, Spaniards and British, are inseparable from overseas. ”
"That's it! It is! ”
However, the conversation in the teahouse was hot, but in fact, many people didn't think so.
After all, there is almost only one way to get this rubber.
Or you can find a way to raise the money you need to go to sea and go to the place where the rubber is produced to buy it yourself.
Either you can only dredge the relationship with those red-haired people, let them sell you willingly, and then willingly let you earn the difference.
Of course, this is not realistic, so almost in a very short time.
The price of rubber in the market began to skyrocket, but despite the price increase, all the people who were crazy about it found that they had no access to rubber at all.
The Ming Royal Bureau of Commerce, headed by the imperial court, did not hesitate to directly use a large amount of Dutch subscriptions to purchase the imperial bonds of the Ming Dynasty, but these seemingly frivolous imperial bonds were actually recognized by the Dutch East India Company.
However, this is also used under the instruction of Zhu Youzhen, the Dutch are not as good as day by day, once their life is not good, it is destined to seek early cashing of this Ming Empire bond and the way that the follow-up bonds will not continue to be recognized.
In other words, the Dutch will definitely play tricks.
Still, Zhu Youzhen, who is well versed in history, knew what trade in the East meant to the Dutch.
It meant that if a merchant ship full of goods from the East could be brought back to Europe, back to the Tessie countries, and unloaded from the docks.
There is no need to sell the goods on the merchant ship even further, and they can be exchanged for silver coins at the dock immediately.
And now, even in the Taixi countries, the most popular has gradually become the dragon yuan of the Ming Empire.
Although many people know that the dragon yuan of the Ming Empire contains a lot of metallic lead.
But it does not prevent it from being exquisitely made and the source is such a huge Eastern empire, and many people choose to believe it because of its endorsement.
The continuous extension of this monetary strategy brought a steady stream of silver income to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty of the Chongzhen Dynasty once again became one of the world's largest net silver inflows.
Light industrial products such as soap in Zhili and yarn and felt in the Beijing-Tianjin Industrial Park have also begun to embark on a steady stream of roads to the countries of Taixi.
....
Tianjin Wei.
Bi Ziyan's face was silent, and in front of him sat a number of shareholders from the Dutch East India Company, only listening to their chatter and quarrel around the large round table in the conference hall.
This building with Taixi architectural style was built by them with a large amount of money in Tianjin Weida's hand, and specially hired a private construction team from Daming to modify and build it according to the drawings they provided.
However, according to the provisions of the Ming law, the height of the building is strictly in accordance with the requirements of the law, and it is still not allowed to use bright yellow and other colors and dragon patterns unique to the Ming Dynasty in the entire interior.
"I think! This rubber boom, we must not take this opportunity to raise prices! The main thing is that those Spaniards are simply hateful! ”
"Oh~ OMG! Finally someone noticed them, not only the Spaniards, but also the armed merchant ships of the British and French were robbing the rubber plantations! ”
"The existing plantations simply can't meet such a large yield, and not many people need raw rubber before today!"
...
Looking at these red-haired people wearing wigs, full of flesh, and bloated postures, Bi Ziyan simply didn't want to stay here for a moment.
However, as Zhu Youzhen personally named him, he was asked to come and negotiate with these businessmen, and to hoard as much rubber as possible and at any cost.
Bi Ziyan felt that in this matter, Da Ming might be wronged.
It's just that Zhu Youzhen explained to him: "Now that the Netherlands is already in decline, maybe one day it will be dragged off the altar, and if you don't spend money to go out at this time, maybe those imperial bonds will really become a piece of waste paper." ”
In this way, Bi Ziyan suddenly felt that he was doing a no-cost business that would not lose money, and since this was the case, then there was no need to worry about it.
Pulit, who had been crowned a Dutch marquis by the Dutch royal family, was dressed differently from the other Dutchmen present.
He doesn't wear a wig, he doesn't wear those bells and whistles, he just wears a plain robe, if it weren't for the weird skin color and hair color, I don't know that I would think that a scholar of the Ming Dynasty is sitting here.
I saw him put down the teacup in his hand and said: "The glory of the Dutch East India Company cannot be violated by any country, and no one is allowed to provoke it, but... About this time the rubber trade .."
After a pause, Plitt turned his head to look at Bi Ziyan.
